RE: Maximum Number Of Parms

I'm not sure if it is a typo, but you are missing the colon (:) on the first
parm.

Good morning, class.


I am creating new programs in /FREE based upon fixed format programs
currently in production. I have an external program call with 39 parms. It
works in fixed format (it must... it's in production), but when I do the
same thing in /FREE, I get:

*RNF5407 20 More parameters were passed in the prototyped call than are
allowed.


Here is the code:

Where am I going wrong? What's the solution? How many parms can I pass?

Thanks,
